I am from Timmins, about 3 1/2 hour drive due north of Sudbury. Thank you all for your kind words, I'm proud to be from such a beautiful country. The area of Northern Ont is the start of the James Bay Low Lands. The area is VERY flat and the trees while abundant tend to be soft woods (pine etc) with a few bitch and poplar. I wish there were a few more Maples and Oaks around. I am lucky enough to travel all over with work, from the parries to the Maritimes even Arctic. I am lucky enough to spend most of my leisure time camping, canoeing, ATV riding,hunting, fishing and trapping (although I have less time for that with a new family) I'd b happy to post some pictures one day if anyone is interested.
Thanks again for the warm welcome.
P.S. How do I get permission post anywhere or PM other members? There is a gentleman selling pieces of flint, and I might want a few.
